Although the pretty colours and tasty treats of Bonfire Night can be great fun for families, the bangs and flashes can be frightening for our pets and it's a good idea to be prepared.
Petplan, a company providing insurance for your loyal companions, understands how scary 5th November can be for them and they have therefore created several useful tips to help make our furry friends feel safe when the fireworks begin.
Our Border Collie, Spartan, is thankfully quite relaxed when it comes to outside noise (possibly because I have so many deliveries from couriers each day!) but I always ensure I'm home on Bonfire Night to comfort and reassure him if necessary. I feel that is quite an important part of being an responsible dog owner, even if that means altering our plans a little, but snuggles on the sofa with a hot chocolate is never a bad thing.
